Facity

Access to quality education and financial resources is crucial for personal and professional growth. However, Nigerian students need help with exclusive vendors, credit, and financial inclusion. Facity provides student-focused solutions to these challenges, including financial inclusion, and career advisory services. Over 18% of students drop out of school, and the youth unemployment rate is over 40% due to limited access to niche products, strict eligibility criteria for education credit, and financial literacy issues.
To tackle these challenges, Facity has developed a comprehensive platform that offers tailored financial products and inclusion through digital banking and payment options and business tools and support for student entrepreneurs. We aim to empower students and student entrepreneurs, reduce their financial burden, and foster their personal, academic, career, and entrepreneurial growth.
Facity is a comprehensive fintech platform designed specifically for students, addressing the unique financial challenges they face during their educational journey. The problem Facity solves is the need for tailored financial tools and career guidance for students in Nigeria, where access to affordable education and financial literacy is a pressing issue.
